Malevisi is a municipality to the west-southwest of Heraklion. This program features several highlights of the region. It starts at the Gazi Archeological Museum that displays a new collection of local artifacts.

Following the old road of Crete, we will then arrive and hike (about 2 kms) the Almyros Gorge (the only gorge on Crete with seven names) with its alluring array of the ruins of three chapels and a monastery, waterfalls, geological formations, trees (including the largest wood of holly on the island), and wild flowers.

We will then drive to Kamariotis to explore the village and enjoy lunch at a local tavern. The old village of Kamaraki is our last stop; there we will explore the Cave of Hainospilios (that the locals call ‘the Labyrinth’) that archaeological evidence dates to pre-Minoan times. The cave served as a refuge haven during the Ottoman times and a center of resistance during the German occupation of the island.

Special Remarks

This tour does not include tips to the guides and drivers or miscellaneous personal expenses.

One can never experience the true heart and soul of Crete, without tasting its raki and dance to the sounds of Lyra – Crete’ s emblematic musical instrument- along with its beautiful and friendly inhabitants.

The Greeks have been deeply religious people since the antiquity years. The customs and the oral traditions have suspended and conveyed the religious sentiment throughout their rich history since the Minoan years through our days.

Our long experience in the field of tourism and the demands of the visitors, combined with our professionalism and reliability, allows us to be involved in the field of organization and conduct of Conventions, Conferences and Seminars.
